I think it’s a great idea just not implemented well. I feel like no matter what I do I’m behind. Like I’m trying to catch up to stuff I wanted last month, so I’m missing out this month. None of the rewards feel good getting because it means I’m not getting something else. This isn’t an interesting choice. It just feels like I’m wasting my time. If you want to stretch out the amount of cosmetics longer please just reduce the number we can get to 3/4 and let us get all of them. This system makes a lot more sense if the items are just added to the list instead of removed every month. You put the serpent in this month and that basically yeets and deletes any other picks. That’s not interesting, that’s incredibly frustrating and disappointing. I don’t think there have been any repeats yet, how long before there will be a second chance at stuff? I’m not happy I have a snaky boi now, I’m just mad I’m missing out on everything else.
So you feel like you’re wasting your time because you are getting stuff you want…but not everything you want.
Fancy.
They said early on that cosmetics will eventually cycle back around.
That’s the fun of it, isn’t it? You can choose what you want to get, hold over something that you can’t if you really really want it, and then if those items don’t show up again then you also have things that others don’t too. We don’t know if they won’t circulate in time either. It’s fun.
They most likely will cycle again after the first year. It’s Blizzard.
OP @ the mogs he never got in the trading post.
Look, that’s the point of the trading post. To give you options but you can’t have everything. Do you have all the mogs and achievements, mounts in the game? No, then why aren’t you feeling upset about it? This just feels like a, “I want this too otherwise I am unhappy! WAAH” kinda post.
You can’t always have everything in life, be loved by everyone around you. Or do everything in the 24 hours that you get in a day. Its what you come to learn and accept at some point in time. You have to pick the best choices, not saying that this is how it should be in a game too. I am just saying that maybe understanding this helps me accept the way they’ve set this up more and you’ve got some ways to go about realizing this, I suppose. Which is why you want everything! Or maybe its just a hobby/habit of being an avid collector.
Either way, I am okay with this because I am not sitting grinding out for that ‘extra’. The day it turns into another grind, I am not gonna bother.
What’s the point of it being a shop if you can just buy everything? That’s the least interesting thing I could imagine it becoming. Maybe this is time to learn you don’t need everything…
This is how they will be able to keep the feature going for months to come. Having everything available for purchase would likely exhaust their efforts; there needs to be a compromise in order for this to work efficiently.
It’s a good life lesson, either way. Not everything you want is always going to be available to you at once. That feels a little unfulfilling to me.
It’s items in a videogame that are being arbitrarily held back, that I want to do that work to get. Not a billion dollar trust fund being given to me at the age of 4. If you’re going to comment in bad faith, just don’t.
I guess you should have saved up your “allowance.” Your complaint makes you sound like an angry child throwing a tantrum because you could only get one piece of candy and not every piece of candy.
It makes me sad that people actually need this explained to them.
It’s a videogame fam it’s not real life. If you want real life go outside. Being able to work to get things you want is the definition of what you think real life is anyway. I don’t even understand what you’re saying. How did you even miss the part where I said they can just reduce the number of items available each month so they don’t run out of meshes, your quote comes after…
You’re absolutely right.
Which is why we know, you will be okay.
That’s a you problem, not a Blizzard problem.
This.
Also This.
I can see you’re new to playing wow and that’s ok.
So there is this think called the blizzard shop. You can buy mounts, services, and even this thing called the WoW token, you can sell them for wow gold. So you make a character, use the boost you got with your game purchase, or buy one. You’re now level cap. You then go into the group finder or lfg and find the group that says “boost” You then join the group and give them the gold you got from the wow token. You then enter the raid and follow them boss to boss and get every piece of mythic gear for your character that drops by giving them more and more wow token gold. You buy more gold and then buy the enchants or whatever else you want basically for your character with real money. Congrats you play a game you can pay real money to get the most powerful gear and you’re made someone wants to get something that’s specifically a cosmetic. ???
So when you say “what’s the point of being a shop if you can just buy everything” you seem completely unaware, to young to be allowed to play a game rated T, or you know what you’re saying is wrong but you want to start an argument so you post anyway. So why are you even playing wow when you can basically buy everything?
Fomo is what it is, in any form OP.
It was never meant to appease the masses, it’s a retention mechanic.
They have human behavioral experts or have contact with them that inform them… rewards team that allocates the rewards etc…
It’s a well oiled machine, and an attempt at keeping effort low while getting items back on to keep you coming back. People on here will fight you on anything when you speak against something Blizzard has done so don’t pay them no mind.
*Doink! I coulda had a fruit bowl!
hope they cycle back to the store and we get to buy them instead of spend traders tender on them!
FOMO hitting you hard my friend.
If you want all the things, just keep paying your sub and you’ll get it all I’m sure.
You can’t always give it your all dude, sometimes, just like in anime fights, you gotta hold back.
“It’s a video game, not real life” is not always the good argument you think it is, especially when art imitates life.
They do this anyway, by the way.
Shaving one or two off won’t make much of a difference in that regard.
I could see you complaining about wanting more, in another universe.
You’re never going to be happy if you always focus on the what-ifs.
